Paraguayan Cheese Snacks Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed 3 min. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well blended after each addition. Add milk, corn, mozzarella cheese and onions; beat on medium-low speed until well blended. Gradually add cornmeal and Parmesan cheese, beating well after each addition and stopping occasionally to scrape side of bowl with spatula.
• Pour into greased 9-inch square baking pan. (Batter will be thin.)
• Bake 30 min. or until center is set. Cool. Cut into 16 squares to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400*. With a pastry brush coat the bottom and sides of an 81/2-or 9-inch square shallow baking dish with 1 Tblsp. of the soft butter, then scatter 1 Tblsp. of flour or grated parmesan over the bottom of the dish.
• Tip the dish from side to side to spread the flour or cheese evenly on the buttered surfaces and set the dish aside.
• Place the corn in the jar of an electric blender and blend at high speed until it becomes a smooth puree.
• In a large bowl, combine the pureed corn, cornmeal, milk, 1/4 cup olive oil, grated munster cheese and salt, and mix thoroughly.
• In a heavy 8- to 10-inch skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over moderate heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 or 5 minutes, or until they are soft and transparent but not brown.
• With a rubber spatula, scrape the onions into the corn and cornmeal mixture. Beat the egg whites with a whisk or an electric mixer until they are firm enough to form unwavering peaks on the beater when it is lifted out of the bowl.
• Beat the yolks in a separate bowl until they are thick and lemon colored, then fold them into the egg whites. Gently but thoroughly fold the combined eggs into the corn mixture, then pour it into the prepared baking dish.
• Dot the top with the remaing 1 Tblsp. of the butter. Bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat half the butter in a skillet and cook the onions over moderate heat until tender but not brown.
• Set aside.
• Combine the remaining butter with the farmer's or cottage cheese and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Add the Muenster, onions, cornmeal, corn, salt, milk, egg yolks, and mix thoroughly.
• Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and fold them into the batter.
• Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10 inch by 13 inch (25 cm x 30 cm) baking pan and bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
